The Model 6 would be an excellent air pistol to shoot with in the MPL. I have attached the "How to Enter" info to help you get started:-

And the Diana 6 G with GISS?

[Paul SE]

And the Diana 6 G with GISS?

Yes, the Diana / Original Model 6, 6G, 6M, and 10M are all OK to use in the MPL competition

Also target pistols:

Feinwerkbau 65, 80 and 90.

Walther LP53 and LP3.

Any pistol that requires the user to use ‘muscle power’ to cock the action is OK

Today we have discs as thin as photocopying paper. Without sticking on the Krüger disc, they do not keep vertical. The shots aren't the worst. On the left 6 yards Air8 (odEbay) dial, on the right my printout. I am still waiting for the NSRA.

FWB 100 too? I thought it was a recoil spring like in LP 53

Yes, the FWB 100 as a SSP, (single stroke pneumatic) is OK to use too in the 6YD MPL

Perhaps we could identify the scores that have been shot with any recoilless or SSP air pistol to allay any fears that some basic spring powered air pistol shooters may have as I know some have contacted myself as they feel discouraged to shoot against recoilless airguns.

Previous MPL series have shown that this is not really a problem as shooter with a recoiling springer can still beat a shooter with a recoilless air pistol - but we could identify any scores that can be deemed as being shot with a recoilless air pistol with a * just for clarity.

As each score is submitted with the shooters name and pistol used we can easily identify the recoilless (including SSP) air pistols and mark the monthly score total with an *.

I hope this will resolve the problem and encourage those with basic spring powered air pistols to enter without fear of being "out-gunned".

As a matter of interest some of the best and most consistent scores that we have recorded in the MPL air pistol series over the years have included those shot with Webley and Centre spring powered air pistols - hopefully this will encourage anyone with a spring powered air pistol to "have a go".

If we had more entries for the MPL air pistol competitions we could even have separate competitions for "kickers" (recoiling spring powered air pistols) and "recoilless" (including SSP) air pistols, but for now we need to keep them together as they always have been.
